A series of tetrazolomethylbenzo[d][1,2,3]triazole derivatives (2–14) have been synthesized and evaluated as antimicrobial agents from 1H-benzo[d][1,2,3]triazole (1) as starting material. The reaction of benzotriazole 1 with chloroacetonitrile afforded 2-(1H-benzo[d][1,2,3]-triazol-1-yl)acetonitrile 2, which was reacted with sodium azide to give tetrazole derivative 3. Esterification of benzotriazole 1 with ethyl bromoacetate in the presence of anhydrous potassium carbonate afforded ester 4, which was treated with hydrazine hydrate to afford the corresponding hydrazide 5. Reaction of 3 with 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-α-d-glucopyranosyl bromide afforded the nitro-glycoside derivative 6, which was deacetylated using methanolic ammonia to deprotected nitroglycoside 7. The hydrazide 5 was reacted with 4,5,6,7-tetrachlorophthalic anhydride or 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylic dianhydride in refluxing glacial acetic acid to give the corresponding imides 8 and 9, respectively. Also, the hydrazide 5 was reacted with carbon disulphide in ethanol to give potassium salt 10, which was reacted with hydrazine hydrate to afford aminotriazole derivative 11. The latter compound was reacted with carbon disulphide to afford thiadiazole derivative 12, which was treated with 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-α-d-glucopyranosyl bromide to give the thioglycoside derivative 13. Deacetylation of the thioglycoside 13 using methanolic ammonia solution at room temperature afforded the deprotected thioglycoside 14. The antimicrobial screening of some synthesized compounds showed that many of these compounds have good antimicrobial activities comparable to streptomycin and fusidic acid as reference drugs.     

Construction,molecular docking,antimicrobial and antioxidant activity of some novel 3-substitued indole derivatives using 3-Acetyl indole

This dissertation presents a method for the synthesis of substituted indoles bearing heterocyclic substituent in the 3- position. The route for the synthesis of the heterocyclic substituents indoles starts from the 3-acetyl indole nucleus. The reaction of 3-acetyl indole 1 with hydrazide compounds such as phenylhydrazine, hydrazine hydrate, and thio-semicarbazide, yields 3-(1-(2-phenylhydrazono) ethyl)-1H-indole 2, 3-(1-hydrazonoethyl)-1H-indole 6, and thiosemicarbazone 10, respectively. Thiophene-2-carboxaldeyde, isatine and 3-acetyl indole reacted with 3-(1-Hydrazonoethyl)-1H-indole 6. In the same way, 3-(1-(2-phenylhydrazono) ethyl)-1H-indole 2 reacted with thioglycollic acid, glycine and benzaldehyde. Thiosemicarbazone 10 reacted smoothly with acetic anhydride, piperidine, concentration of hydrochloric acid and thiophene-2-carboxaldeyde to provide the corresponding heterocycles. The reaction of 3-acetyl indole 1 with amine compounds such as p-nitroaniline formed Schiff base 15, which reacted with thioglycollic acid to give compound 16. 3-Acetyl indole 1 reacted with ethylene diamine to afford bis imine indole 17. The reports of the docking study revealed that the new compounds exhibit good antibacterial activity. The synthesized compounds screened in vitro for their antibacterial activity revealed remarkable inhibitory effects on the selected microorganisms. Besides, the antioxidant activity of some newly designed compounds has been investigated. The structures of the newly synthesized compounds are examined by spectral data (IR, ¹HNMR, ¹³C NMR and mass spectra).
